I'm a libertarian lawyer and college professor. I blog on religion, history, constitutional law, government policy, philosophy, sexuality, and the American Founding. Everything is fair game though. Over the years, I've been involved in numerous group blogs that come and go. This blog archives almost everything I write.

CNN: "Was America founded as a Christian nation?"

Check out the responses from multiple contributors. Below is a taste from one of them -- our friend John Fea:

It is true that the founders, by virtue of
the fact that they signed the Declaration of Independence, probably
believed in a God who presided over nature, was the author of human
rights, would one day judge the dead and governed the world by his
providence.

Those who signed the United
States Constitution endorsed the idea that there should be no religious
test -- Christian or otherwise -- required to hold federal office.
